Can I mix this with acrylic paint? And I need to paint my room so how long will this last?

you can mix acrylic but it has to be oil based and not water based if it is water based it will become a clump so I do not recommend you do so As for how long it stays glowing that depends on the light source that you would have on it along with a UV light I do suggest that you get a black light/ uv light if you do not have oneI hope this is helpful to you good luck^-^

I usually add about a tablespoon of paint conditioner, and about a tablespoon of water to a half of the sprayer container full of paint and mix well. I can cover a piece with one coat, but I also use chalky finish paint that's thicker than latex.

The enamel does dry fast. I wouldn't mix them. You can get green enamel paint at most craft/hobby stores

I have used this product twice now. In another week it will be rock hard, but you can use whatever you painted by now.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

Its ok, but I wouldn't buy another one, any odd thing you have at home with a lid would do the same. The paint does NOT peel right off, it comes off ok, but not like it says, cheaper and easier to use a cheap container ( with a lid ) until you have finished with the paint then throw it away. Happy painting. OOps, as for Acrylics, I don't use them so I can't answer that.

Try The Army Painter primers. It's a solvent based acrylic. It's more expensive, but you get 400ml per can, so the cost per oz. can be cheaper than this

You can paint it, not sure if you mix it in it will do what you are wanting, generally all silver and gold are painted on. Make sure to use vodka as the wet, so it will dry fast. don't mix with water

I mixed this with a white paint and applied it to the walls first. It is called a primer. I then painted over the top of the base coat with the color of paint I chose for the room. Good luck.

Well do you think you stirred it up long enough? It should be somewhat clear when you finished. Once you follow the amount to mix per gallon you should be good. But ya Im sure you probably should use it as soon as you can

Any pre-mixed paste is fine...the mural comes as a vinal coated wallpaper. Just be sure to sponge off with warm water any residue that is squeezed out between the sheets. Good luck!

It all depends on how thick the application ends up. Thin paint-like coats only tend to last 6-15 seconds. Thick strings like letters or filling in cavities will last longer. 1-3 minutes. It shrinks alot while drying, too. So multiple applications may be necessary. No better or worse than other glo-crafts.

For laying the color i'm sure it is fine. For metal or wood, if you want it to last you must use the appropriate primer (Metal) or Bonder (Wood). It will only stick to a surface as well as it can bond to it. (I like my Martini, Shaken not Stirred). Anyway, I have just began to use it with an airbrush. It having such a broad range of colors, allows for simpler blends. Then I will use the stencil with the type of artwork I am using.

Acrylics are NOT the type of paint to use. Go to Walmart and buy craft paint that can be used on material. It can be washed and retains it's vibrancy....acrylics are blotchy, if adhering at all. Do not recommend.

It had been mentioned that there was no green in the box--could dabs of blue and yellow be mixed, or does this enamel dry too quickly for that? I am new to enamel paint, so not sure how fast it's meant to dry...Thanks in advance for answering.

Yes you can, I use acrylics all the time for painting models and other things =) I just thin them with water *depending on brand* to get the right consistency so paint will flow out with out spattering.

yes,you can mix paint in the material to be sprayed but it won't have the same look as a rolled or sprayed ceiling.The paint really just helps the material bond better,paint is inside the material and not coated on the outside.I would mix it with the pop corn type ceiling texture as you don't paint it when new.Orange peel and spatter and knock down types you need to prime anyway.
